Your life A Video Game!??!?!?!

Yes! You heard me Correctly! Your Life can give birth to a Video Game...Well Not your entire Life....Parts of your life will suffice.... :D

Today I'm gonna List down 5 Aspects of my Life that Can be used in Video Games!!!!

No.1: Transportation and Journey

I live far away from My School so I take a long time to get there. So I need to plan which transport to take and what route to get to the next part of my journey. But usually I walk to the train station and take a train all the way there but there are multiple ways to get there too via train. So How to translate this to video gaming? Make the gameplay about getting from Point A to B. A game of this example is a wii ware game called Tomena Sanner or you can also say its like Crazy Taxi too Cause this two games are "racing" games where you go from point a to point b as fast as possible.

No.2: Music Makes the World Go Round!

Music Is one of the important aspects of my life...I listen to music almost 24/7 hence the headphones I wear almost everyday! Music is featured in alot of games. It is used in soundtracks to gameplay elements like Rockband and the Guitar Hero franchises. I would use music to influence the gameplay like what Child of Eden does its the spiritual successor to Rez and well its a rhythm shooter where each shot will produce a sound which affects the music.  As a gameplay element I would use music for example in a hack and slash like Devil May Cry series to affect your fighting style like how he/she attacks or how fast she/he attacks and there will bonuses to attacking in sync with the music. 

No.3: (Day)Dreaming

I'm truly Fascinated by the Human Mind and its ability to dream. From Fever dreams to Nightmares, So many Universes just spawn from our grey matter. A Unison of left and right brain . Well Game Wise, I would use dreaming as a generator of items,Worlds,Dungeons,Units. As from your mind there are ideas that spawn so why not use it! Well For example, The .Hack series has used random word generators to create different dungeons for you to explore and has used the Human Mind as well as in Persona 4, The Place where all the dungeon Takes place is actually a representation of the collective human mind. 

No.4: Clothing and Appearence

Well who does'nt want to look good? Well at least I certainly Want to look good! I always go look or buy new clothes few times a year at various establishments like Cotton on and others. I love games that have a full fledged Character Designer or aka Make-A-(Blank) mode. Bioware has one of the best character creators in the gaming industry if you look at their creators in mass effect or dragon age, they provide you with the tools to make any character you can think of. Another game with a great character maker is Spore. The Creature Maker from Spore is awesome with the ability to make from a polar bear to a dragon or a 3 headed polar bear dragon. But Not to get carried away, If it were to be the main gameplay element, the combination of what clothing you wear could give your character bonus or abilities or skills and in multiplayer ,you can totally identify your character easier. Also If its mostly about Create-a-Blank mode then it would be like a god game where you create life on the way you like it and see how it evolves and grow.

Lastly....No.5: People and Relationships...

I know if you've played Persona 3/4 you will automatically say: SOCIAL LINKS!!!!!

Like Social Links in Persona 3/4, people and relationships can grant you bonus and perks if you treat them right! That sounds kind of abusive....but its true cause from people and others you help others as others help you and from this we all grow for the better or for the worse. This is one of the common aspects of our lives..with technology, our world has shrunk and its not hard to find others too. In a game sense, If the main gameplay mechanics are people and relationships then it might as well be a dating game cause social links mechanic is essentially a dating game but more of a friendship version not a romantic one but sometimes it is. But you can go even futher as this gameplay mechanic is found in Visual Novels too. So basically for gameplay, People and Relationships will grant you rewards based on your actions.

So There! These are 5 parts of my life that can be used in Gaming! So Be Inspired and Just stop and Smell the Roses Cause you might find some sight that will take your breath away!
